Welcome to our Privacy Policy

Your privacy is critically important to us.

It is LizardByte’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website and applications. This Privacy Policy applies to https://app.lizardbyte.dev and the LizardByte-bot integrations for Discord and Reddit (hereinafter, “us”, “we”, or “LizardByte”). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting personally identifiable information you may provide us. We have adopted this privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) to explain what information may be collected, how we use this information, and under what circumstances we may disclose the information to third parties.

This Privacy Policy, together with the Terms of service posted on our Website, set forth the general rules and policies governing your use of our Website. Depending on your activities when visiting our Website, you may be required to agree to additional terms of service.

LizardByte-bot Community Applications

LizardByte-bot is a private community support and moderation application used in Discord servers and Reddit communities operated by LizardByte. It provides support and moderator commands, activity-based ranks and leaderboards, GitHub account linking, GitHub sponsor role synchronization, and notifications between LizardByte services.

Discord Information

Depending on the features a user interacts with, LizardByte-bot may process and store:

• Discord user IDs, usernames, global display names, and server IDs.
• Message activity metadata, including message counts and last-activity timestamps, for ranks and leaderboards. The bot does not read or store message bodies, embeds, attachments, components, or polls.
• GitHub user IDs and usernames when a user voluntarily links a GitHub account through OAuth, together with derived sponsor status and roles managed by the bot. OAuth access tokens are used to retrieve the authorized account details and are not stored by the application.
• Moderation event metadata for messages posted in a designated restricted channel, including the Discord user, channel, message ID, and event timestamp. This record does not include the message body or attachments.
• Command interactions and operational logs necessary to provide, secure, and troubleshoot the application.

Reddit Information

LizardByte-bot monitors new submissions and comments in configured LizardByte subreddits. Depending on the activity and features involved, it may process:

• Reddit account IDs and usernames, subreddit IDs, activity counts, rank experience, and last-activity timestamps for ranks and leaderboards.
• Comment IDs, authors, text, timestamps, processing status, and parsed supported-command metadata. This information is retained to award activity-based rank experience, respond to supported commands, and prevent duplicate processing.
• Submission IDs, titles, text, authors, timestamps, links, flair metadata, and notification delivery status and timestamps. This information is retained to award activity-based rank experience, prepare notifications, and prevent duplicate processing. The author’s public Reddit profile image is also processed when preparing a notification.

The bot posts Reddit submission notifications to a restricted Discord channel. Those notifications may include the Reddit username and public profile image, submission title and text, link, flair, and timestamp, and remain in Discord until removed by an authorized moderator.

How We Use and Share Information

We use this information only to provide the features described above, administer LizardByte communities, prevent abuse, and diagnose application failures. We do not sell this information, use it for advertising or user profiling, or use Discord or Reddit content to train machine learning or artificial intelligence models.

Application information may be processed by Discord, Reddit, and service providers that host application or storage systems under their respective terms and privacy policies. Discord moderation records and Reddit submission notifications are posted only to restricted Discord channels available to authorized moderators.

Storage and Retention

Application records are stored in access-controlled systems managed by LizardByte and its service providers and are available only to authorized maintainers. Operational logs are similarly access-controlled and may include Reddit submission metadata or supported command text needed to operate and troubleshoot the application.

Account-linking, rank, Reddit activity, and processing-status records are retained while needed to provide those features. Operational logs are removed on a rolling basis, and records posted to restricted Discord channels are retained until an authorized moderator removes them. Users may request access to, correction of, or deletion of their stored application data through the LizardByte support portal. We may retain limited information when necessary for security, abuse prevention, legal compliance, or resolving disputes. Requests to delete Reddit personal data will be completed within 10 days.

Website Visitors

Like most website operators, LizardByte collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. LizardByte’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how LizardByte’s visitors use its website. From time to time, LizardByte may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.

LizardByte also collects potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on https://app.lizardbyte.dev blog posts. LizardByte only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below.

Security

The security of your Personal Information is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
